The suspect, Kendel Felix, worked for a contractor that handled buildings owned by Stark, who in January was kidnapped from outside his Williamsburg office and later found dead in a Great Neck dumpster. Police said yesterday that a 26-year-old man believed to have driven the van used in the kidnapping had confessed to the crime and named two other suspects.

A source told the New York Daily News that Felix admitted to police that he and his associates suffocated Stark by accident.

that sounds racist to me because landlords wouldn’t necessarily be loaded
so he sees distinct looking Menachem Stark at the building and just sees dollar signs?

Where would that idea come from given the state of his real estate holdings? Who would be filling his arms up with cash? Not his regulated tenants that’s for sure.

In our experience, the contractors, the plumbers and the electricians have been except for the one who sabotaged our pipes – to be everyday good guys. They make an owner feel that they can keep going with their reliability, their trustworthiness and oftentimes, their charitable attention – showing up just so the owner isn’t alone in a hostile situation.

The article mentioned that the suspect worked for a company that
serviced several properties owned by the victim. So he probably assumed
he was loaded just because he owned some income properties. People are
not smart enough to consider things like taxes, expenses and debt when
they try to assume someone’s worth. This is a very sad story, as there are now 7
